Rose & Crown, Ludlow

A large, rambling Joules pub, with multiple rooms, an inside courtyard and a further outside area to the rear. Very atmospheric once the light fades. Some great wood panelling and several doors leading to who knows where. Four Joules beers on the bar alongside a couple of guests which were also local. Both my pints were in good nick . Ludlow has several very good pubs and this is right up there with them.

A very good Joules pub. Hidden down a courtyard and bigger than I was expecting. A multi-area pub with interesting places to sit. The beer choice isn't great but its worth a visit anyway. Typical Joules woodiness throughout.

A Joules pub, old and rambling, ie multi-space, exhibiting lots of oldness as befits an old pub hidden up a passage. Oddly very popular with those young people I've heard about, as an old git I was the oldest in the pub by some way, all the other punters and staff could have been my grandchildren, fortunately at my age we just become invisible. Upstairs in the "usual offices" things are extremely modern so lots of thinking done and money spent by Joules, good on them it's a good pub and the youngsters know it. Sadly the beer and service were a bit average and I've no idea why the free newspapers included the Mail or perhaps less so the Sun.
